Speedy deletion nomination of Mark J Costello


A tag has been placed on Mark J Costello requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Class 455 ( talk |stand clear of the doors!)  23:30, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Is this how I reply? I replied to another editor already (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mark_J_Costello). I am rather upset at the hostile multiple messages spamming my inbox I have received at my first attempt to create a harmless wikipedia page. I had no idea wikipedia was so full of anxt and insensitive to people not familiar with the details of citation methods (I think the article had plenty of external links that supported the text). True I did not read all the technical details of how to create pages and I apologise for that but thought I would learn by doing. I've learned that wiki editors are hostile and nasty. I have removed the page completely. Caliguspedia (talk) 06:03, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is how you reply. The fact of the matter is that we have multiple guidelines and policies stating what you can and cannot do while creating an article. Your article was deleted because it fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines. People need to have some sort of significance to have their own article in independent reliable sources, the article about the person you created fails that guideline, so was speedily deleted. If you need to learn how to cite sources, please have a read of this. Thank you for your understanding. Class 455  ( talk |stand clear of the doors!)  09:50, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
